Норт-Енд

Ваш North End to the Freedom Trail поєднує в собі гастрономічний тур North End та екскурсію по історії та визначних пам’яток, щоб скласти блискучу південну екскурсію, яка дасть вам повне знайомство з нашим прекрасним містом. Ми почнемо з осередку життя Бостона, Бостонської гавані, з прогулянки мальовничим набережним парком. Ми зробимо наш шлях до серця Норт-Енду, звідки відкриваються краєвиди на деякі з найбільш історичних місць. У Норт-Енді завжди буває смачної їжі. Ваш гід познайомить вас із маленькою прихованою італійською пекарнею, де щодня подають свіжий хліб. На черзі справжня італійська салюмерія, де ви зможете насолодитися італійським м’ясом і сиром. Далі ми насолоджуємось енергією найжвавішого коридору Норт-Енду, вулиці Ганновер, де настав час перерви в середині екскурсії з вашим гідом у традиційному італійському кафе.

2

Стара Північна церква й історичне місце

Ви почуєте розповіді про деякі з найвпливовіших подій, що відбулися в Бостоні, зокрема «Опівнічну поїздку» Пола Ревера. Ми підемо до Старої Північної Церкви і ступимо всередину священних стін.

3

Роуз Кеннеді Грінвей

Скуштуйте піцу в улюбленому районі, а потім ми закінчимо їжу в Норт-Енді зразками найкращої італійської випічки на вулицях цього смачного району. Продовжуйте зі своїм гідом за район Норт-Енд, щоб неквапливо прогулятися одними з найкращих ринків і зелених насаджень Бостона. Ви почнете другу частину своєї подорожі назад на станції «Акваріум «Т», де ми зустрінемо інших членів групи. Від гавані ми продовжимо рух повз Грінвей Роуз Кеннеді.

4

Митниця Marriott

Подивіться на вулицю Стейт-стріт і історичну вежу Custom House Tower, перший хмарочос міста.

5

Ринок Faneuil Hall

Потім ваш гід проведе вас до знаменитого Фанейл Холу та ринку Квінсі.

6

Ринок Квінсі

У центрі Бостона

7

Старий казенний будинок

Ми зупинимося перед Old State House і місцем Бостонської різанини. Чи справді це була різанина чи, можливо, просто велика пропаганда Революції?

8

Downtown Crossing

Коротка прогулянка через Downtown Crossing

9

Стара ратуша

Короткий шлях через Downtown Crossing приведе вас до Старої ратуші. Ця прекрасна будівля, виконана в стилі архітектури французького Відродження, протягом багатьох років була резиденцією міської влади в Бостоні. Це також місце народження державної освіти в Америці. Вам точно захочеться, щоб ваш гід сфотографував вас із бронзовим ослом біля входу.

10

Будинок штату Массачусетс

У більшість будніх днів (тільки в години роботи уряду!) ви маєте шанс побачити роботу уряду в надихаючому, історичному та красивому Будинку штату Массачусетс, спроектованому та побудованому відомим архітектором-федералістом Чарльзом Булфінчем у 1798 році. За межами Будинку штату загляньте в вид на сучасний Бостон, включаючи хмарочоси в центрі міста, фінансовий район і найвищу будівлю в Новій Англії: вежу Джона Хенкока. Ми продовжимо нашу подорож через Бікон-Гілл, де ви матимете нагоду познайомитися з типовою архітектурою рядових будинків Бостона з червоної цегли.

11

Бостонський громадський сад

Нарешті ми прибудемо до прекрасного Бостонського громадського саду, одного з улюблених зелених насаджень Бостона, де ви побачите місцевих жителів, які вигулюють собак, граються з дітьми та насолоджуються обідом у тіні.

Greenway Carousel

Your North End to the Freedom Trail combines our North End Food Tour and our History and Highlights Tour to make up a brilliant half day tour that will give you a comprehensive introduction to our fair city. Your experience begins at the lifeblood of Boston, the Boston Harbor. Walk through a scenic waterfront park, with views of the harbor, East Boston and the historic wharfs lining Atlantic Ave. We’ll make our way to the heart of the North End, with views of some of the most historic sites and properties in the neighborhood, some dating back to the late 1600s and early 1700s.

13

Faneuil Hall Marketplace

Here, you’ll hear about the notable revolutionaries who were the first to advocate for independence from Great Britain.

14

Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway

We will pass by the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway, a linear park located in several Downtown Boston neighborhoods. It consists of landscaped gardens, promenades, plazas, fountains, art, and specialty lighting systems.

15

North End

We’ll make our way to the heart of the North End, with views of some of the most historic sites. Tasty food is never far away in the North End. Your guide will introduce you to a small, hidden Italian bakery serving up fresh bread daily. A proper Italian salumeria is next, where you’ll have a chance to enjoy some Italian meats and cheeses. Next up, we’ll take in the energy of the North End’s busiest corridor, Hanover Street, where it’s time for a mid-tour break with your guide at a traditional Italian café.

16

Old North Church & Historic Site

You’ll hear stories about some of the most influential events that happened in Boston, including Paul Revere’s Midnight Ride. We will make our way to the Old North Church and step inside the hallowed walls. The Old North Church is closed until the beginning of April. During this time, we will not be able to visit inside the church, but we will stop outside of it.

17

Downtown Crossing

A short trek through Downtown Crossing

18

Old State House

Moving into the heart of Downtown Boston, we stop in front of the Old State House. This is where the Declaration of Independence was announced to elated crowds in July 1776 - your guide will paint quite the picture for you of that exciting time in Boston. On the flip side, you’ll also hear about the tragic Boston Massacre that occurred here and what led up to that fateful day.

19

Old South Meeting House

You can’t come to Boston and not mention the Boston Tea Party. While at this stop, which was originally a church, your guide will fill you in on all that led up to the infamous event. Learn who said “No taxation without representation!” and how Bostonians planned their act of rebellion in 1773.

20

Old Corner Bookstore

Next we’ll pass by the site of the first bookstore in Boston, which has housed the publishers of Thoreau’s Walden, Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, and Longfellow - you may have heard of his famous tale: Midnight Ride of Paul Revere.

21

Old City Hall

This hall was home to the city council in the 19th and 20th century, as well as the site of the first public school in America. You’ll also marvel at its breathtaking French architecture and be able to snap a photo with the famed Bronze Donkey.

22

King's Chapel

A short trek through Downtown Crossing and past the Old City Hall takes you to one of the most historic places in the country – King’s Chapel, the first Anglican church in New England. Your guide will teach you about its history and its progression through the centuries. If we're lucky, we could hear the organist practicing on the oldest church organ in the US.

23

Granary Burying Ground

Originally part of Boston Common, this cemetery dates back to 1660. Along the way, you’ll pass by the final resting spot of famous Revolutionary heroes like John Hancock, Paul Revere, and Sam Adams.

24

Boston Common

The oldest city park in the United States, Boston Common (not Commons) is a favorite with locals and visitors alike. Walking through the park, you’ll see various memorials, fountains, and recreation areas - which have been enjoyed daily since 1634.

25

Beacon Hill

One of the most popular and well-known neighborhoods in all of Boston, this area wasn’t always as attractive as it is today. You’ll peek down the cobbled streets as your guide shares the fascinating history of this area - how sailors and British soldiers in the 17th and 18th centuries actually decreased its favor for local residents and how it became the iconic and aspirational neighborhood it is today.

26

Robert Gould Shaw and the 54th Regiment Memorial

A lesser-known memorial, but one of great interest and significance. This memorial commemorates one of the first African American regiments in the Civil War and their colonel Robert Gould Shaw.

27

Massachusetts State House

You’ll love seeing the glittering dome of the inspiring, historic, and beautiful Massachusetts State House. You may have heard of the original landowner for this site, John Hancock, and the man who presided over the cornerstone ceremony for the building in 1795, Paul Revere. Your guide will be sure to fill you in on how this building has lasted over the years and continues to be an integral part of the state’s government.

28

Boston Public Garden

This garden is full of life with residents of modern Boston enjoying it for walks, exercise, fun, or just a peaceful moment. But as you walk through this picturesque park (the first public park in America), you’ll really be able to get a sense of how the land was used by Bostonians (and even British soldiers) throughout the revolution-era and since then as well. Your tour will end here - in the perfect central location for you to continue your day in Boston.

100

North End

We’ll make our way to the heart of the North End, with views of some of the most historic sites. Tasty food is never far away in the North End. Your guide will introduce you to a small, hidden Italian bakery serving up fresh bread daily. A proper Italian salumeria is next, where you’ll have a chance to enjoy some Italian meats and cheeses. Next up, we’ll take in the energy of the North End’s busiest corridor, Hanover Street, where it’s time for a mid-tour break with your guide at a traditional Italian café.

101

Old North Church & Historic Site

You’ll hear stories about some of the most influential events that happened in Boston, including Paul Revere’s Midnight Ride.

102

Downtown Crossing

A short trek through Downtown Crossing

103

Old State House

Moving into the heart of Downtown Boston, we stop in front of the Old State House. This is where the Declaration of Independence was announced to elated crowds in July 1776 - your guide will paint quite the picture for you of that exciting time in Boston. On the flip side, you’ll also hear about the tragic Boston Massacre that occurred here and what led up to that fateful day.

104

Old South Meeting House

You can’t come to Boston and not mention the Boston Tea Party. While at this stop, which was originally a church, your guide will fill you in on all that led up to the infamous event. Learn who said “No taxation without representation!” and how Bostonians planned their act of rebellion in 1773.

105

Old Corner Bookstore

Next we’ll pass by the site of the first bookstore in Boston, which has housed the publishers of Thoreau’s Walden, Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, and Longfellow - you may have heard of his famous tale: Midnight Ride of Paul Revere.

106

Old City Hall

This hall was home to the city council in the 19th and 20th century, as well as the site of the first public school in America. You’ll also marvel at its breathtaking French architecture and be able to snap a photo with the famed Bronze Donkey.

107

King's Chapel

A short trek through Downtown Crossing and past the Old City Hall takes you to one of the most historic places in the country – King’s Chapel, the first Anglican church in New England. Your guide will teach you about its history and its progression through the centuries. If we're lucky, we could hear the organist practicing on the oldest church organ in the US.

108

Granary Burying Ground

Originally part of Boston Common, this cemetery dates back to 1660. Along the way, you’ll pass by the final resting spot of famous Revolutionary heroes like John Hancock, Paul Revere, and Sam Adams.

109

Boston Common

The oldest city park in the United States, Boston Common (not Commons) is a favorite with locals and visitors alike. Walking through the park, you’ll see various memorials, fountains, and recreation areas - which have been enjoyed daily since 1634.

110

Beacon Hill

One of the most popular and well-known neighborhoods in all of Boston, this area wasn’t always as attractive as it is today. You’ll peek down the cobbled streets as your guide shares the fascinating history of this area - how sailors and British soldiers in the 17th and 18th centuries actually decreased its favor for local residents and how it became the iconic and aspirational neighborhood it is today.

111

Robert Gould Shaw and the 54th Regiment Memorial

A lesser-known memorial, but one of great interest and significance. This memorial commemorates one of the first African American regiments in the Civil War and their colonel Robert Gould Shaw.

112

Massachusetts State House

You’ll love seeing the glittering dome of the inspiring, historic, and beautiful Massachusetts State House. You may have heard of the original landowner for this site, John Hancock, and the man who presided over the cornerstone ceremony for the building in 1795, Paul Revere. Your guide will be sure to fill you in on how this building has lasted over the years and continues to be an integral part of the state’s government.

113

Boston Public Garden

This garden is full of life with residents of modern Boston enjoying it for walks, exercise, fun, or just a peaceful moment. But as you walk through this picturesque park (the first public park in America), you’ll really be able to get a sense of how the land was used by Bostonians (and even British soldiers) throughout the revolution-era and since then as well. Your tour will end here - in the perfect central location for you to continue your day in Boston.
